However, previous research has been constrained by limited dimensions of governance predictors and insufficient linear estimations to predict financial distress. To address this issue, this study gathers 37 corporate governance indicators of Chinese publicly listed firms from 2009 to 2022 in the dimensions of ownership structure, board features and executive traits. The LightGBM machine learning approach is then used to compare the predicting power of these individual indicators, as well as the predicting power of the dimensions. The SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) method is further adopted to conduct an in-depth interpretability analysis upon the established prediction. Our approach identifies the nonlinear effects of important corporate governance indicators on financial distress and prioritizes those indicators based on their impact levels. Our results show that the most influential indicator is institutional ownership, followed by managerial ownership and executive compensation disparity. In addition, the dimension of ownership structure has the highest predicting power among the three. Overall, our study provides new insights into how firms can optimize their corporate governance mechanisms to prevent financial distress.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 102549"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142423904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the booming development of digital credit may create favorable conditions for mitigating household income vulnerability and improving household economic resilience. Using data from the 2014–2020 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this paper explores the mechanism of the role of digital credit on household income vulnerability. Firstly, digital credit can help the household sector manage risks, effectively alleviate the credit constraints of the household sector, and mitigate household income vulnerability. Secondly, the development of digital credit mitigates household income vulnerability by promoting the breadth and depth of financial services. Thirdly, the heterogeneity analysis shows that the marginal utility of digital credit is higher for the income vulnerability of self-employed households, low-income disadvantaged households, and households in underdeveloped regions. Fourthly, the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of entrepreneurship assistance policies weakened digital credit's alleviation of household income vulnerability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 102542"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142357040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Empirical evidence on capital infusions during GFC supports the existence of moral hazard problem. However, what is not clear is whether the increase in bank risk post-capital infusions is due to an increase in bank risk-taking behaviour (moral hazard) or simply reflects an increase in the average firm-level risk due to poor economic conditions. We try to disentangle this issue by using capital infusion data in the Indian banking industry, where government capital infusions in public sector banks happen in all economic conditions and hence allow us to control for a non-crisis environment. Our results strongly support the moral hazard problem in banks, surrounded by no apparent economic crisis. The results are also independent of the bank's propensity to take risks and its financial health. One major implication of our findings is that repeated capital infusions to protect banks can be detrimental as it increases the fiscal risk of the country.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 102539"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142312592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This impact is greater during periods of low economic policy uncertainty or high investor sentiment. Moreover, this impact is reduced with larger fund size or longer fund age. The reasonable explanation is that investors infer fund managers' skills by analyzing the stocks in the fund's portfolio. This explanation is further validated by the results using index funds as the control group.
